Church aims to use more Gaelic

6 February 2015

The Church of Scotland is to hold a conference to encourage the use of the Gaelic language in the church.

 

Moderator Designate Rev Dr Angus Morrison hopes the one day event at St George’s Tron church in Glasgow on 21 March will inspire ‘new and imaginative thought ‘ about the use of Gaelic within the Church.

 

He said: “I trust and pray it will be significant event and a major catalyst in promoting the use of the Gaelic language as an immensely rich part of our national, cultural and church inheritance.

 

“We believe the time is now opportune to encourage new initiatives in promoting the use of Gaelic both in the context of traditional worship services and in imaginative ways that take account of the developing needs of the Gaelic-speaking, and Gaelic-learning, community in Scotland.”
